One of the neat things about the commissions I've had lately is getting to help interpret and preserve people's memories of certain places. This watercolor is for a woman who has moved away from Memphis and wanted a painting of her childhood home. I've also done a "house portrait" for someone who recently moved from her longtime home into a retirement community. I've painted places people were married. I love getting to take part in a small way in other people's important celebrations or milestones. It's one of the privileges of being an artist.
